I demoed this one before with success:Mango Mojito Pie Serves 8 Prep Time: 30 minutesIngredients: 1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin 1/2 cup nonfat milk 1 (8 ounce) package reduced fat cream cheese, softened 3/4 cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated 1 cup light sour cream 2...

I have also used fat free half and half with success.

Ditto, Patty!! I love my grill pan/press combo!! Use it at least 2 to 3 times a week.

How about for the holidays, doing graham cracker gingerbread houses? You didn't say what age group your son's class is, but math related activities can be anything from counting and estimating (how much candy to cover roof for example) and measuring area, to more complex activities such as...

Abigail, that is an excellent idea. I just sent an email to my hosts from last January informing them about the extra free product offer. I plugged this as a great opportunity to get the grill pan/press for free!! I will have to send out a blanket email offering a "happy and healthy New...

After 9 months of struggling to clean my lodge grill pan between uses, and smoking up the house every time I tried to use it, where I could never get it completely clean after use, I finally broke down and purchased The Pampered Chef grill pan, especially after the "chicken your way thing". I...

I melt in the microwave or the double boiler instead. The big skillet seems awfully big for this.

I did the above when I had a slow month. Hadn't done a neighborhood open house since moving, so I did a fall show, used fall themed paper, printed my invites and canvassed the neighborhood. Got some leads and a 900 dollar show.

Baked potato chowder recipe is awesome!!

One thing I LOVE about the spice turn about...I now have a place to keep my oil spritzer!!!It fits in the bottom row nicely. Before, I would find it in the pantry, in the spice cabinet, in the cabinet above the stove, on the counter next to the stove, you name it depending on whose turn it was...

what about the replacement feet for the cooling rack? Are there any? I bet it would work.

That sounds really good. I wonder if you can do that with apple pie filling and spice cake (more traditional fall flavors).

I agree with Becky. Also, the stovetop recipes that call for you to heat broth in the microcooker seems like a redundant step that only serves to make more dirty dishes for me. I just add the broth and adjust the cooking time. Recipes still turn out fine with skipping that step.
